40m. The original and arguably the best version, starting up the oft damp cleft, is a tough proposition. Originally climbed in two pitches at E7 6c, 6b. Fully bolted now and probably worth 7c+ as one 40m pitch. At the top bolt it is usual to traverse right and make a blind lurch to a jug (crux) before going up to the belay. Going directly past the last bolt is a grade harder at 8a.
